LunaRacer 2 or Streak 3?

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

I need a new road racing flat and am wondering if anyone has an opinion between the LunaRacer 2 and the Streak 3. I've got a pair of the original LunaRacers and they've served me well...my only complaint with them is that they feel unresponsive. The cushioning is great, but I feel like my foot sinks into the shoe on each foot strike.

Anyone know if the LunaRacer 2 is any different? How is the Streak 3?

Also, in terms of fit, I train in the Pegasus and like the fit of both that shoe and the LunaRacer, so that's a consideration as well.

I feel like the LunaRacer 2 is even less responsive. They are so thick that they don't even feel like a flat to me.

I've ran in both, and if you want a responsive shoe, go with the streak 3.

Is there a great deal of difference in fit between the two?

I have the Lunaracer in size 11, it's a little too snug for me so I'm trying to get rid of it.

Anyone want it for $40 shipped?

I'd say they're pretty similar in terms of fit. For me the decision between these shoes is just a matter of preference. They have similar weight and fit, so I'd say get into a pair of both and see what works for you.

I am surprised that you feel you sink into the LRs, I've found they provide a pretty good bounce, but maybe that's just me.

I actually race in both. I wear the Streaks for 5/10K in the spring and summer, then switch to the Lunaracer for halfs and fulls in the fall. If I do anything longer in the Streaks my legs get pretty beat up.
